Lots of you said you needed more receptive practice but that you’d like shorter, cheaper ‘chunks’.

We’ve filmed a series of Level 2 short stories that we’re going to release regularly as downloads, currently at £1.50 each. A compilation DVD/download of 12 of these stories is also now available.

The stories vary in length, but each story is signed at Level 2 standard and is broken down into 4 parts. At the end of each part you will be asked 3 questions about what you have seen (and then you’ll be given the correct answers). These short stories aren’t subtitled as you need to practice, and I know from experience that it’s hard not to read them when they’re there! We don’t want you cheating!

Level 2 products are suitable for those who already have basic signing skills, who are studying for Level 2 courses, or those who are about to start a Level 2 course and want to get ahead of the game!"

To play the downloads you will need Apple's QuickTime Player (see: http://www.apple.com/quicktime). QuickTime Player is available free from Apple for both Mac and PC. Many machines already have QuickTime installed, however if you have an old version it may need updating. The computer specifications required for QuickTime can be found at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/specs.html. The downloads are standard definition (SD) H.264 video files.
